American Idol is in full swing. Typically I’m not emotionally invested in the show until the top 12 are picked. Well this year, we have 13 and I’m sooooooo IN!  I have been captivated by the stories of the contestants this year more than any other from the get -go.  The story of Danny losing his wife,  Lil losing her home in a tornado, Scott being vision impaired, Megan having a  baby and divorcing at a young age…. those are just SOME of the stories that have moved me this time.  The producers know what they are doing. They are telling us a story; a story that endears us to the artist, and it’s worked on me!

You’ve heard me talk about my favorites: Alexis, Lil, Matt, Allison, Scott , Kris and Megan.  I have had numerous texts, Facebook posts, and Myspace messages asking me who I think will be going home tonight…. well…..hmmmm….I can tell you this: I think the bottom four based on performances last night were Megan, Anoop, Jorje and Jasmine.

I think Anoop and Jorje have a big fan base so I think America will give them a second chance. My bet would be that Megan ( as much as I love, love, love her) along with Jasmine will be the two to go. 

They’ll also be the first to hear Carrie Underwood sing them home with a really cool version of Motley Crue’s HOME SWEET HOME;  which by the way, will be avaialable on I Tunes.  No, Ryan Secreast did not pay me to say that. I just thought all of you Carrie Underwood fans would want your own copy!  

Tune in Thursday morning and we’ll see which member of the Fox Crew got their prediction right.  I hope it’s me, Trey will never let me live it down if he’s right and I’m wrong! lol
